OHIO PERCENT FOR ART PROJECTS
Ohio’s Percent for Art legislation, in effect since July 1, 1990, provides funds for the acquisition, commissioning and installation of works of art for new or renovated public buildings that receive state appropriations of more than $4 million per biennium. For these projects, the law stipulates that 1 percent of the total state appropriation be allocated for the acquisition, commissioning and installation of art work in public spaces. A searchable database of completed projects is available at: www.oac.state.oh.us/search/Percent/SearchPercent.asp
